Education: W. & J. Walks Out

Mild, sandy-haired little
President Simon Strousse Baker of Washington & Jefferson college
(Washington, Pa.) was about to conduct chapel one morning last week. As
he finished reading an announcement, all but a scant dozen of his 432
students got up and marched out. They were striking. More than 300 of
them had signed a petition demanding President Baker's removal, to be
presented to the W. & J. Board of Trustees this week.

"I don't even know what the strike is about," said President Baker
indignantly.
